she undresses,
and with her soul exposed to the elements,
she lies still and frozen–
covered by thick ice and casual indifference
Indifference

What Reminds Me of You
tea roses in yellow hues
delicate orange and copper beads
aquamarine waves of lapping water
mahogany mountains yawning in the distance
a spanish saffron sun
The Lonely Wind
it was in the waning afternoon,
that i walked along the river–
the wind whipping my cheeks,
stinging my eyes and holding my cold hands–
later, in the depths of a dark winter evening
it hurled itself against the glass windows,
whispering and crying for attention
Frozen
the frozen marsh
receives us with a cold shoulder
and a stilled silence
which breaks only with the sorrowful
call of a blue-black crow
White
Oh, I’m dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white
from the song, White Christmas, by Irving Berlin, 1942
Let your heart be light
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on
our troubles will be out of sight
from the song, Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas by Hugh Martin and Ralph Blane, 1944
Home
If I could go back home, if I could go back home
If I’d never left, I’d never have known
We all dream of leaving, but wind up in the end
Spending all our time trying to get back home again
from the song, Home Again by Bernie Taupin and Elton John from the album The Diving Board, 2013
Forever
fall into my gentle embrace and i will forever keep you safe
Inspiration Lately
lace-filled stitches
tiny white lights
pumpkin ravioli
red and white baker’s string
writing by candlelight
peppermint bark tea
collecting dead branches and dried leaves
oatmeal with chocolate chips
Drawing Near
“Christmas time is here
We’ll be drawing near
Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the year…”
from the song, Christmas Time is Here by Vince Guaraldi, 1965
